Battle of the Roads

Chapter 68
Taiqing Shanfang City is the internal market of Qingjianmen. Both buyers and sellers are all Qingjianmen disciples. Even the auction is hosted by the Foreign Affairs Pavilion inside Qingjianmen.

As far as Fang Zhe knew, the Foreign Affairs Pavilion basically held a small-scale auction every year in the inner city, and then held a large-scale auction every three years.

Now, it is the annual auction held by the Foreign Affairs Pavilion. The auction is divided into two auctions, one is a low-level auction for Qi training stage disciples, and the other is a high-level auction for foundation establishment stage disciples.

Of course, this does not mean that disciples in the Qi training period cannot go to high-level auctions. As long as you can afford the high entrance fee and prove that you have enough spirit stones, you can also enter high-level auctions, and build The seniors of the base period bid.

For Fang Zhe, there was no need to be so troublesome, because he was brought in by Lin Yuluo. Lin Yuluo's reputation was not only famous among Jin Lingfeng, but even among the foundation-building monks of Qingjianmen.

As soon as he entered, someone stepped forward respectfully, and then led the way while calling Senior Sister Lin.

However, although the Foreign Affairs Pavilion can be regarded as paying attention to Lin Yuluo, compared with the few people behind, Lin Yuluo is obviously inferior.

As Fang Zhe was walking, he heard a noise coming from behind him. Looking back, he saw a few monks of the Foundation Establishment Stage coming with their heads held high. Just take a look and walk right in.

However, the Foundation Establishment Stage disciple of the Foreign Affairs Pavilion was not angry, but continued to put on a smiling face: "Brother Zuo, please come inside, the best boxes are reserved for you!"

Looking at these people, Fang Zhe knew that these people must not be ordinary inner disciples. He had seen a lot of inner disciples of Qingjianmen. The foundation-building monks were not so arrogant.

At this time, maybe seeing Fang Zhe's doubts, Lin Yuluo said to him through voice transmission in a secret language: "These people are all elite disciples, and the leader is Zuo Tiantong, a monk with a mutant spirit root of the ice attribute. No.1 in the Zongmen Dabi!"

Elite disciple?

To be honest, although Fang Zhe said that he had seen quite a few inner disciples during the foundation establishment period during his three years in Qingjianmen, it was the first time for the elite disciples to see them.

On the one hand, Fang Zhe lived in seclusion and rarely came out, so he didn't know many people. On the other hand, although there were tens of thousands of monks in Qingjianmen, there were only about 30 elite disciples.

These elite disciples may have high or low cultivation bases, but all of them are monks with excellent aptitude who are expected to form alchemy, and there are even a few genius monks with mutated spiritual roots or special spiritual bodies. Although they have a lot of aptitude, they are also the darlings favored by the heavens. They have all kinds of adventures and their cultivation speed is extremely fast.

These people, whether they have good aptitude or other chances, they can become elite disciples and get the full cultivation of the sect for only one reason: that is, they have a greater hope of forming alchemy, and there is even a slight possibility of hitting the Nascent Soul stage in the future .

These people generally live on the top of Mount Taiqing, the best land of spiritual veins, and their treatment in all aspects far exceeds that of ordinary foundation-building inner sect disciples.

Strictly speaking, if the news of Fang Zhe's sword spirit body spreads, Fang Zhe has a chance to become a member of the elite disciples. After all, this is the legendary sword spirit body, the real sword cultivator, Qingjianmen It is impossible not to pay attention to it up and down.

But in the past three years, Li Yibai didn't spread the news, and didn't even let Fang Zhe say it himself. Fang Zhe can guess one or two things about it, that is, Li Yibai wants to use Fang Zhe, a "sword repairer", as a trump card , in order to obtain greater benefits for Jin Lingfeng in the ten-year sect competition.

And Li Yibai also frankly told him that not only them like Jin Lingfeng, most of the other branches of Qingjianmen will also have talented disciples, but they will hide them in order to get better results in the sect competition. score!

Why?Because once these geniuses are discovered, they will immediately become elite disciples, and then this disciple will be sent to the peak of Taiqing Mountain to practice, where the two Yuanying stage elders sit in town, and they do not belong to other branches at all.

At the same time, elite disciples also have a rule, that is, they are not allowed to participate in the ten-year sect competition of the major branches, because once these elite disciples participate, these elite disciples with heaven-defying aptitude can basically win the top five, and there are no other branches at all. An opportunity for foundation-building disciples to stand out.

However, after the Zongmen Grand Competition, most of the geniuses found and cultivated by the major branches will become elite disciples, thus losing the opportunity to participate in the next battle. This kind of action: find talents and cultivate them, and then expect them to win in the Zongmen Grand Competition!
This kind of rule has also brought great benefits to Qingjianmen, that is, it can encourage the major branches to continuously search for and train genius disciples, and quite a few of these genius disciples can successfully form alchemy. After that, it can become the core pillar of Qingjianmen.

Most of the more than 20 monks in the alchemy stage of Qingjianmen were cultivated through this way!
The Zongmen Grand Competition held once every ten years and the existence of elite disciples can be said to be important factors for the sustainable development of Qingjianmen.

Looking at these elite disciples, especially the leader Zuo Tong, Fang Zhe couldn't even sense the level of his cultivation, he could only vaguely sense that he was in the Foundation Establishment stage, but the specific cultivation level was unknown. I see, this surprised Fang Zhe a little.

Based on Fang Zhe's current practice of Qi training period, he can barely sense the cultivation level of the monks in the foundation building period. Of course, the premise is that the monks in the foundation building period did not use special means to cover up their breath, but emitted spiritual fluctuations normally. It is easy to feel the strength of spiritual power fluctuations of monks in the foundation building period.

But that Zuo Tong made Fang Zhe unable to sense it, did he use special means to cover up the fluctuation of spiritual power?Or is it that his cultivation has reached the Dzogchen Foundation Establishment Stage, and he is only half a step away from forming an alchemy, so he can't sense it.

Maybe, I can become an elite disciple one day, well, the premise is that the secret that I don't have a sword spirit body is not exposed!
After watching Zuo Tong and others go in, Fang Zhe also followed Lin Yuluo into the auction venue!
There are more than 200 people who came to the auction today, more than half of them are monks in the foundation period, but half of them are monks in the Qi training period like Fang Zhe. Either they have a lot of spirit stones and want to buy treasures.

As the number of people arrived, several figures soon appeared on the stage of the auction venue. The leader was an old man with a white beard. As soon as he came to the stage, he said: "The impoverished man is the steward of the Foreign Affairs Pavilion, Presumably, many brothers from the same sect know Pindao, and they also know the auction rules of our Foreign Affairs Pavilion. However, in order to let those brothers from the same sect who participated in the auction for the first time understand, so Pindao will talk about it again.

The auction is still the old rule, the highest bidder wins, whoever relies on his own cultivation to forcibly lower the price, Pindao will have to ask the elders of the Foreign Affairs Pavilion to come forward!

Brothers and sisters, if you don’t have the spirit stones in your hand during the auction, you can also use treasures of comparable value to offset the price, but the price must be lower than that of others. After all, our Foreign Affairs Pavilion also has to earn a meager handling fee, right? Otherwise, more than 1000 comrades in our Foreign Affairs Pavilion..."

The white-bearded old man talked for a full quarter of an hour. What he said earlier was better, but the latter was basically repeated over and over again. Fortunately, the monks are basically people who can bear their temper. Just started shouting.

After finishing the nonsense, the old bearded old man said seriously: "Okay, now we will start the auction of the first treasure today. As for the first auction item, the source and context don't need to be introduced by the poor, everyone. You only need to look at it to know!"

As the voice fell, Baibeard Linjie took out a jade bottle from the storage bag, and poured out a red elixir from it.

It's just that he hasn't opened his mouth to introduce it yet. Many well-informed people below just opened their eyes wide, especially some female cultivators showed joy on their faces: "This is Zhuyan Pill? Is it really Zhuyan Pill?"

"I didn't expect that there would be an auction of Zhuyan Pill. Very good, how many spirit stones are there for this Zhuyan Pill, I want it!" A haggard old woman shouted excitedly when she saw this Zhuyan Pill.

"This is Zhuyan Pill, not Huiyan Pill. What's the use of you coming here? This Zhuyan Pill can only be used at my age!" Immediately, another young girl who seemed to be only 100 years old was born Dao, this voice sounds like a girl, but her cultivation base is already in the middle stage of foundation establishment, not lower than Lin Yuluo. If a monk does not have the aptitude or chance to go against the sky, if he wants to cultivate to the middle stage of foundation establishment, at least 100 How old is she, that is to say, the female cultivator who looks like a girl in front of her is actually an old woman over [-] years old.

Immediately afterwards, other people spoke one after another, and most of them were female cultivators. Fang Zhe could still see that even Lin Yuluo, who was sitting next to him, looked yearning for the Zhuyan Pill.

There are not many of these female cultivators who don't want to stay young forever. Even if most of the exercises they practice have the effect of delaying aging, they are comparable to the real eternal youth!
Fang Zhe was a little speechless watching this scene. A group of old women in their seventies, eighties or even over 100 years old, including Lin Yuluo, competed for a Zhuyan Pill, and they did not hesitate to spend a lot of money.

The starting price of this Zhuyan Pill was only [-] Lingshi, but in a short while, it had soared to [-] Lingshi. Before Fang Zhe could sigh, the price had already risen directly to [-] Lingshi up.

These are 5000 spirit stones, not ordinary [-] yuan stones. Even a monk in the foundation building period would have a hard time getting [-] spirit stones. A foundation building monk with ordinary spirit stones would not buy them. Zhuyan pills are all used to buy elixir and spiritual weapons.

It is only these female cultivators who spend a lot of money to buy Zhuyan Dan in order to stay young forever.

When the price of this Zhuyan pill reached [-] spirit stones, Fang Zhe's sixth senior sister, Lin Yuluo, who was next to Fang Zhe, said, "Junior brother, how many spirit stones do you have on you, please lend me some first!"
